Referring to "this" without using .each()

Question

I have an element $myElement that I want to refer to using this inside .css() call. Specifically, I tried to change the CSS property someCssProperty to $myElement.myProperty naively:

$myElement.css(someCssProperty, this.myProperty);

Is there a way of having a working this without using the cumbersome .each()?

Answer 1

css takes a function as a parameter which you can use:

$myElement.css(someCssProperty, function(index, value) {
    return this.myProperty;
});

The callback also receives the index in the set and the old value as parameters.
